Integrated SOA Gateway

SOAP web service

Provided out-of-box from EBS

Provides Interoperability leverage from

any standard web service client

Multi service transaction failures need to

be handled explicitly

Consumption of external web services

for lightweight integration via native

service invocation framework

Integration transactions are monitored

via SOA monitor
